Can you remember any of the logos?

Not really, think I saw a oldish Lotto jersey, early 90s probably. Nothing I really recognised like a Molteni top or anything.

On internet explorer was a disaster...

Tried Garmin site earlier and itt was offering me both the 30% and 10% discount to under £ 20 for Out Front Mount, but then it said they couldn't ship one to Ireland!

I'm just looking at final prices.

With just the 30% discount the total price including VAT come to €72.08 for me so if with your additional discount it comes to €69.07 including vat for you that's a further €3.01 off. Which is just less than 3% of the original €102.98 price.

OK I registered my Edge 500 and got a discount code. Now I know why there seemed to be only 3% extra off. They only applied the extra 10% to the Speed/Cadence sensor and not the HRM.

Their site is working fine for me on Chrome too.

Edit: Turns out the extra 10% can only be applied to 1 product and they seem to automatically apply it to the cheapest one. HRM can be got for €37.79 on it's own.

You need to change the country to Ireland, top right hand drop down menu, prices will also change to euros.

Did you use the Irish site?
http://www.garmin.com/en-IE
or the UK one?
http://www.garmin.com/en-GB

It should ship for the Irish site.

Any Idea how long the offer is for ?

It's strange that they wouldn't apply discount to both
On another note, got a call from bank this evening about suspicious use of my card on Garmin.com, they've put a stop on transaction and I had cancelled Amazon order earlier today.

Thanks both. Afraid it still doesn't work though! Logged in again now from home and selected Ireland but it still says "The highlighted items in your cart are not available in the selected country. Please remove those items or select a different country."

I'm looking at SKU: 010-11251-15

fran426ft

I just tried the same item by browsing to it through their shop and got the same message when I went to check out. Very strange that it wouldn't ship to Ireland.

Yes it was, they must have thought there was something dodgy about it.
I got on to Chat on Amazon and got the HRM re-ordered for £33.27 stg after £5 offer was re-used. Waiting to hear back from Garmin that payment was stopped and order Speed/Cadence from them then.

ptsb said i would need to re order

I told them I had received an email confirming order, when I look at order history on the Garmin site, it states "in progress", but I'll probably get a mail from them to place order again, which I will, but only for cadence.

Don't know where the op heard about it, so no idea on expiry.

Sorry about not responding sooner guys - not long after having to emigrate so still a little up in a heap and with time to respond to posts a bit patchy. AFAIK the voucher was for a day (it doesn't seem to be working today in any case) and I know that it worked on both UK and Irish garmin sites. Anyhow soz for the late touch to base, I hope people got some good out of it and I'll provide more comprehensive details next time a code comes round.

So the bike stands are going to sell like hot cakes then!
Anyone ever tried the men's bib trousers or the cycling shoes? what are they like for sizing?

Probably not, cos they appear every so often and most who would use one have got one already.

Huuuuuge. In my experience they're really about 2/3 sizes larger than what it says on the label.

Rose have 105 SPD-SL pedals at 23.50. nice price

http://www.rosebikes.com/article/shimano-105-spd-sl-pd-5700-pedals/aid:667978

They had Ultegra at 42 but i got the last pair of those, was looking for a pair so my new tri bike would have same pedals as my road bike. the 105's are still a nice price though

edit: for some reason price is fluctuating between 77 and 23, not sure what is going on,the out of stock is 23 but the instock was 23 as well when i checked first, now showing 77
